No Bird Flu Virus report does not automatically mean virus free:Any person who uses common sense will not make such assurances like Mr. Perez. His statement is misleading the public because there is no mention of what kind of monitoring methods and tests that was conducted by his department. What makes him so sure that the Philippines or even Pangasinan is free from the virus and what program was implemented to control the spread? Those migratory birds are all over Luzon and how does he know that not a single bird carrying the virus had not spread it elsewhere? Even the USA can not make that positive statement. Making that statement makes him look good and work less at the risk of the public. There are no words of caution to the public at all.
